Professor questions bartonella protocol

Dear Stephen,
I have just talked about your book and herbs with my professor (who is working in Belgium but very familiar with the lyme and co-infection problems as he works together with Burrascano on antibiotic treatments). Now he is very open to your approach (which is already exceptional), but he told me that your herbs for bartonella might not be right, because for the moment we don’t exactly know what these spirochetes do in the human body. Very recently this has been discovered, but some more testing needs to be done to be sure and only then the medical treatment can be adjusted to fight it more accurately. He told me that this info will probably be available for doctors within some months and then other treatments will follow. What do you think of his approach in the case of bartonella?

Bartonella is a gram-negative bacteria, not a spirochete. Spirochetes, like Borrelia burgdorferi which causes lyme disease, are also bacteria, but they are not classified as gram positive or negative. Hope that clarifies things for you.

I don’t see an alternative approach in the above query. Sounds like a pretty generic MD response to a protocol that is not based on Rx drugs or devised by an MD. . . .”well, it probably has shortcomings but don’t fear, we MD’s will get it right eventually – in the meantime, I have nothing better for you”. After working with MDs for six years – most are not scientific, but like to dismiss anything not Rx related as non-scientific.

I have just been diagnosed with lyme. I have been suffering with severe cramps, exhaustion, nerve pain, brain fog, occasional headaches and nausea.
I am taking antibiotics and have been told to use them for a month. I started to ready about your protocol today and am wondering if i should discontinue the antibiotics and use your protocol or use it in conjunction or use it after. What do you think.. Thank you so much for your work!! I do not like antibiotics but have been told to begin with them.
